Editor's note: Cindy's talk was fantastic and full of great visual diagrams to explain complex network implementation concepts. We couldn't do it justice by liveblogging it on the fly. Instead, we recommend you refer to Cindy's blog posts below and her soon-to-be-posted slides and talk video.

• The method to epoll's madness
• Nonblocking I/O

We will update this post with links to her slides and talk video when they're online.
